Nymphomaniac

Nymphomaniac Release Date: March 21, 2014

Nymphomaniac, from Danish director Lars Von Trier, is described as a wild and poetic story of a woman’s erotic journey from birth to the age of 50 as told by the main character, the self-diagnosed nymphomaniac, Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg). On a cold winter’s evening the old, charming bachelor, Seligman (Stellan Skarsgâˆšâ€¢rd), finds Joe beaten up in an alley. He brings her home to his flat where he cares for her wounds while asking her about her life. He listens intently as Joe over the next 8 chapters recounts the lushly branched-out and multi faceted story of her life, rich in associations and interjecting incidents.

You’ll recall that Lars Von Trier is responsible for the dark yet amazing movies Breaking The Waves and Dancer In The Dark.
